Aside from getting gas periodically, not much thought it usually put into the components that go into your fuel delivery system. Over the past 20 years, we have seen fuel injection emerge as a more efficient and economic form of fuel delivery, when compared to Throttle Body Injection (TBI) or Carbonated engines. With Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), your vehicle's computer controls the precise amount of fuel it is letting into the engine. This causes for more fuel efficient vehicles, in addition to the elimination of "flooding" an engine with gasoline. Although this method of fuel delivery is much more innovative, it is still a system that should not be overlooked when servicing your vehicle. This week's blog will give you an in depth look on your fuel system, and the various methods you can maintain it, and thus optimizing your fuel economy!
Using fuel injector cleaner does several things for your fuel system, but it typically is not as extensive as having an
entire fuel system cleaning. A bulk of these gas tank pour bottles are an ether based compound, which mainly aims at flushing out carbon build up from various parts of your fuel system. These parts include: intake valves, combustion chambers, fuel injectors/carburetor, throttle body,
valves, and cylinders. The main reason people use these products is to improve fuel economy. You can get them at any auto parts store, and they are relatively cheap in price.
Your
local Bob Sumerel Tire Company offers a fuel system cleaning service, which is a 3 step system. The first part is cleaning the throttle body of the vehicle, which can have carbon buildup under severe driving conditions. Secondly, we run a fuel system treatment through your car's vacuum lines, which removes any deposits in the fuel system or vacuum compression lines. Lastly, a bottle of gas treatment is added to the fuel tank, which helps stabilize the inside of the tank and the gas lines themselves.
